Chapter 4 Cook Us a Meal
That night, there was a strong wind outside, and the old tree trunks outside the window creaked all night. The family of four were in a mess, and they almost didn't fall asleep all night.

Early the next morning, Su Ran's siblings woke up yawning.

Because Su Ran's clothes and shoes were soaked in snow and muddy water during the trip to the town yesterday, and she couldn't wear them today, so she put on Huang's clothes, tidied up briefly, and cooked a big pot of gruel After the whole family drank a bowl, Su Ran hugged the ten catties of fine noodles and planned to go out with Brother Quan.

Because of the snow, the private school will not open today, so An Geer stays at home to take care of his mother.

Mrs. Huang took out a basket from under the bed, grabbed all the eggs in it and stuffed them into Brother Quan's hands: "It's snowing outside, so be careful on the road. Thank you sir and Brother Li and come back early. It's freezing outside."

"Understood." Brother Quan hurriedly agreed loudly.

The siblings went out of the fence together, and Brother Quan said to Su Ran: "Sister, let me hold this bag! You take the eggs, this one is light."

"No, it's not too heavy." Su Ran shook her head, still holding the bag tightly in her arms.

Brother Quan didn't say much to her when he saw her.

Mr. Yuan moved to Wushan Village four years ago. It is said that he is a talented scholar whose parents have both died. He originally sold the house and land in his hometown and planned to go to the city to take the exam.In the end, who knew that Juren didn't pass the exam, and he spent almost all the money on hand.He didn't have the face to go back to his hometown to face his parents' tablets, so he found a random place to settle down.Li Er was picked up by him on the road, and now he is responsible for doing odd jobs by his side, and every month he will also chop some firewood and sell it in the town to subsidize the two people's livelihood.

Now the two live in a house at the east end of the village.Uncle Su Ran's family used to live in that place, but after the uncle's family moved to the town, the land became vacant.Later, after Mr. Yuan came over, the people in the village gathered together and repaired the house briefly, allowing Mr. Yuan to live together.

The large yard at the front is for the children in the village to read and write at ordinary times. There are four rooms in the back, Mr. Yuan and Li Er share one, and there is a pile of sundries.

This is also the first time Su Ran came to her former uncle's house after so many years.

It's still early, but the snow at the gate of Mr.'s yard has almost been swept away.Su Quan stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon the door opened, and it happened to be Li Er who came to open the door.

When Su Quan saw him, he smiled all over his face, and he hurriedly bowed to Li Er: "Second Brother Li, my sister and I came to thank you today! Thank you for saving my sister from the fire pit yesterday, and for taking the Send her home!"

Li Er looked at him, then at Su Ran behind him, nodded his head, then turned and left.

Su Quan quickly pulled Su Ran up: "Sister, let's go in!"

When the two of them entered the yard, they saw that Li Er had already picked up the broom and started sweeping the snow in the yard again—it seemed that he had also swept the snow at the door just now.

On such a cold day, Su Ran's hands holding the bag were trembling non-stop.Li Er was only wearing a coarse cloth, and he held the broom tightly with his big palms, but he swept away the snow firmly and forcefully.As long as the broom in his hand reaches the place, the snow will be swept away, leaving almost no residue.In just a few moments, he had already swept away half of the thick snow in the yard.

Moreover, she could clearly see a trace of heat coming out of his body.

Su Ran was considering whether to go up to thank him now, when he heard a squeak, Mr. Yuan came out wearing a thick padded jacket.

Seeing Su Ran and Su Quan's siblings in the yard, he quickly stopped yawning and smiled: "Sister Su, Brother Quan, why did you remember this? What are you doing standing outside in such a cold day? Hurry up and sit inside!"

"We are here to thank Mr. Li and Brother Li." Su Quan said hastily.

Su Ran also handed over the fine noodles in his hand. "This is your family's noodles. I forgot to return it to Brother Li last night."

"So this bag of noodles is with you?" Mr. Yuan looked suddenly enlightened, "No wonder I said he came back last night, but he dragged an empty car. I asked him where the noodles went, and he told me Someone will send it here today. It seems that this person is you."

So Li Er hasn't told him what happened yesterday?Su Ran, Su Quan's siblings were all taken aback.

Su Quan quickly explained the matter.After listening to Mr. Yuan, he also clenched his fists angrily: "How can there be such a femme fatale uncle in the world? Her own son can't pass the Tongsheng exam, so he will not be afraid of being struck by lightning if he walks such a crooked way! Sister Su met Li Er last night, it's good that you are fine now."

"Yes, I was really thanks to Brother Li yesterday. Otherwise, even if my sister escaped from the Chen family, she would not be able to return to the village alone. So today we came here to thank you." A few eggs, "It's just that our family is poor, so we can afford these few eggs now, and I hope you don't mind, sir."

"Your mother is sick like this. Are you going to save up the eggs and sell them in the town for her medical treatment? Then I can't take them!" Mr. Yuan quickly waved his hands.

Su Quan was in a hurry. "Sir, if you don't accept my eggs, then we won't be able to repay Second Brother Li's great kindness!"

Who knew that Mr. Yuan's eyes lit up immediately when he heard it. "Speaking of which, I really have a way for you to repay your kindness."

"Sir, please stop joking with us." Su Quan didn't believe it, thinking that Mr. Yuan was just deliberately finding an excuse not to accept eggs.

"I'm serious." Mr. Yuan said seriously, and then looked at Su Ran, "Miss Su, do you know how to cook?"

Su Ran nodded. "meeting."

"Well, there are ten catties of fine noodles here, so go to the kitchen and make some pancakes for me now! I'm going to throw up from eating the noodles I made every day!"

"Okay." Su Ran nodded, and carried the fine noodles into the kitchen.

After hearing this, Su Quan realized that Mr. Yuan really needed their help.He quickly caught up with Su Ran: "Sister, I will help you!"

The kitchen of Mr. Su's house is very large and empty, but there is no shortage of pots and pans, and the water tank is full of water.On the shelf next to the water tank, there are a few Chinese cabbage, some radishes and a few handfuls of shallots.

Since there was no shortage of things, Su Ran rolled up his sleeves, took a basin and poured out some fine flour, and started kneading the dough.

Su Quan also began to peel the green onions and wash the vegetables to help her.

After a short while, a fire was lit in the kitchen.After about half an hour, I could smell the aroma wafting from the kitchen.

Not long after, Su Quan and Su Ran's siblings came out with ready-made noodles.

When Mr. Yuan saw it, his eyes began to shine: "You actually made so many kinds of cakes?"

"Well, I don't know what kind of food you like, sir, so I made a few of them." Su Ran said in a low voice.

Mr. Yuan hurriedly picked up a piece of scallion pancake and ate it, and immediately nodded: "It's delicious! Sister Su, you are really good at cooking!"

As he said that, he grabbed another scallion pancake and threw it to Li Er: "Try it quickly, Sister Su's craftsmanship is truly second-to-none! After eating this pancake, I realized that what we ate before was all pork food! "

Li Er took the pancakes and finished them in two bites.

"How is it?" Mr. Yuan asked.

"Very easy to swallow." Li Er nodded.

"That's it!" Mr. Yuan said cheerfully, and warmly greeted the siblings, "You guys eat too! You've been busy for a long time, so you should also eat something to fill your belly."

"No need." Su Ran shook her head.

Su Quan ran to the kitchen again, took four boiled eggs and put them on the table: "Sir, have a good meal! Elder Sister and I are going back."

Looking at the four boiled eggs, Mr. Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. "You guys, it's really... Forget it, I'll accept your wishes, and I'll just accept these eggs."

As he spoke, he grabbed a few pancakes and stuffed them into the hands of the siblings: "But the eggs are a thank you gift from you, and these pancakes are my thank you for cooking for me." Reciprocity. This is reciprocity, and you cannot refuse."

Of course Su Quan refused to accept it, and Su Ran took a step back.

Seeing that Mr. Yuan couldn't get it into their hands, he shouted to the other side: "Li Er, hurry up and help!"

Li Erli immediately stepped forward, grabbed a few cakes and stuffed them into Su Ran's hands.

Just as Su Ran was about to push it back, he heard him say, "Take it."

Su Ran stopped moving.

Su Quan who was next to him yelled loudly: "Second Brother Li, so you can talk?"

Li Er did not respond to him, but continued to stare at Su Ran.

Su Ran bit her lip, but still only kept one pancake, and returned the remaining three pancakes. "one is enough."

Mr. Yuan immediately looked at Su Ran, then at Li Er: "Give her another one!"

Li Er picked up one and stuffed it into Su Ran's hand. "two."

"Okay!" Su Ran nodded obediently, and then left with her younger brother.

It wasn't until he got out of the private school that Su Quan realized: "It turns out that Second Brother Li is not dumb! He can talk! However, I have been in the private school for the past few years, and today is the first time I hear him speak!"

"He just doesn't like to talk." Su Ran said.

"Oh." Su Quan nodded, and immediately smiled again holding the pancake, "Sister, look, this pancake is made of white flour! I have only seen pancakes in the town before, and they are so delicious. I have never eaten it before! Today, my mother and brother Quan can also feast on their mouths!"

"Yeah." Su Ran nodded.

The siblings walked back talking and laughing.As soon as they arrived at a place not far from their home, the smiles on the two people's faces stopped abruptly.They heard Mrs. Wang's yelling coming from their own yard——

"Let me tell you, if you don't give me your eldest sister today, I will never end with you! Master Chen will never end with you either!"
